ShinsoPriest said: Well Aloy is technically a free 5* so there's that going for Genshin, although I doubt that happened because of anniversary. But yeah I wouldn't ever want to deal with FGO gacha. Imagine this but on every banner. At least now that worry is forever gone with the new weapon banner system even if you end up with E- Luck. But on the other hand, pity is also almost worthless when you're given so little currency, you can barely even reach pity... which there's still a 50% chance you won't get the banner character every time you do reach it. Let's be real, both are equally shit, just in different ways. mira-pyon said: >I'm halfway through the released Inazuma content Bitch whaddya mean half way, I just left Ritou.

| I mean I'm rockin' over 40k primogems just from saving, soooo it ain't that bad. I suppose it's bad if you're easily baited and are f2p. |
| And most importantly, if you're a new player. I also don't have a lot of primos. I mostly get currency from levelling characters and AR rewards and battle pass and stuff. I guess events give primos too, and ofc abyss. I'd imagine if u cleared abyss each time from the start you'd have a few saved up. |

| That's why I don't like joining a mobage when it's in the middle of its lifespan. So much freebies from opening events, and everything afterward are missed. I honestly have no idea what a new Genshin player would experience at this stage of the game. |
| Also if you haven't redeemed the new promo codes, now is a good time to do so. They expire within 8 hours. DSPVUN2BKH5M CB7UU6KT2H59 NTPVU7JTJYPD Do it here: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/gift |
| What do the promo codes give? Do you use all of them or just one? Edit: Wow 300 primos. Do they often release promo codes and such? |

| They usually give 3 promo codes every update preview livestream. I don't watch them but the discords I'm in always posts them. Like takaGG for example. |
| Oh interesting. You now have the moral liability to always post the codes here. Thanks comrade. |

| I forgot to mention, >That's why I don't like joining a mobage when it's in the middle of its lifespan. Bruh the game isn't even a year old why are you talking abt it like it's over lol- I mean, we don't even have a Sakurai character yet lmao |

 Will Scaramouche finally do the fandango? Say the sky the is fake, refuse to elaborate further and call you sucker. It's kinda funny that the last time he appeared was over 200 days ago and new players have no idea who he is. |

| So I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. I want to play Skies of Arcadia, and there's two versions, the original Dreamcast version, and the Gamecube version. But neither of them are the definitive version. The Gamecube version has more content, lower random encounters, slightly better looking models, and there's an undub mod for Japanese voices. But the music quality is irredeemably bad compared to the Dreamcast version and there's no mod that can fix that. The Dreamcast version has less content, higher random encounters, and a high quality soundtrack, but there's no undub. I want to play the GC version for the undub but the soundtrack is really distracting, but if I play the Dreamcast version I'd have to deal with English dubbing and miss out on the sweet Japanese voicing. I don't really care for the extra content either way. Give the OST a listen and see if it's worth going through the GC version. |
| >It's kinda funny that the last time he appeared was over 200 days ago and new players have no idea who he is. Incorrect, all new players know who he is because older players are always talking about how we won't know who he is lmao. I was as excited as you were when he showed up in the mv. Cute boi gimme. I'm glad we can agree Scarmoustache > Baal |

ShinsoPriest said: So Raiden Shogun's real name is Ei. As in Raiden mEi. Mihoyo thinking they clever lol I think Mihoyo should have named her Rei instead of Ei because "Rei" meaning in japanese: "law, rule; strive", which makes perfect sense for Raiden's real name because of her own personality about ruling over her own homeland for eternity as the Electro Archon, and she made her own laws like the Vision Hunt Decree for taking away their visions from people in Inazuma too, but it's just my own opinion. |

The kanji “永” onyomi: “エイ” translates to eternity supposedly, so it fits too. Ei also means Egg in German sooo yeah. |
| >Raiden mEi Where did the m come from anyway? |
The sun is a deadly laser |
| The letter M is derived from the Phoenician Mem, via the Greek Mu (Μ, μ). Semitic Mem is most likely derived from a "Proto-Sinaitic" (Bronze Age) adoption of the "water" ideogram in Egyptian writing. The Egyptian sign had the acrophonic value /n/, from the Egyptian word for "water", nt; the adoption as the Semitic letter for /m/ was presumably also on acrophonic grounds, from the Semitic word for "water", *mā(y)-.[2] |

| The enjoyment of the exploration and combat system are subjective, but the gacha part I wholeheartedly disagree with. Arguing that the gacha is bad like many things in life and "it's predatory, but I'm not the target audience" is such high-level self-deceiving copium. You can't say "gacha is not evil" and "it's predatory, but I'm not the target audience" in the same breath, my dude. The fact that you're so high on dopamine from being exposed to all the gambling elements the game is filled to the prim with from the character gacha, weapon gacha, artifact stats lottery, drop rates, and seeing numbers go up doesn't mean it's fine all of a sudden. Having good gameplay elements doesn't make the gacha acceptable either. And I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Inazuma didn't cost them $1 billion to make, so no, the gacha isn't the reason they can do updates. MMOs have been doing this shit for decades with just the monthly subscription, where you pay to support the devs and the game, not because the game is designed to prey on your psychological issues. Gacha IS evil and predatory. Let's not try to justify such systems because it's fun to climb a mountain and open chests and you weren't born with psychological issues you have no control over. With that said, if you enjoy these systems and can control yourself, do what you want, I'm not going to force my own beliefs on you. |

| I'd shill out too if I was paid handsomely. |
| :same: |
| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| You could replace the word "gacha" with "alcohol" or "drugs" in Astro's post and people would be none the wiser. |
| The sole reason alcohol and cigarettes aren't outlawed is the inevitable outrage of the already addicted populace. They both should be outlawed, if your criteria is the harm to the individual. Drugs can kill you? So do kidney failure (and, you know, acting stupid under the influence) and lung cancer. |
| I also like to live dangerously. |
|
| Alcohol is bad, dont do it kids. Im from a slavic country, i know. |

last 30 seconds blew my mind ngl |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |

Today 10x rolls ticket finally gave me Ash. I got everything from this banner now. |
|
| Niiiice. Congrat! I can't wait to E2 her after the event and test her out against Exu. Finally, I can have an awesome all-Sniper (+Elysium) team to try to clear all the content with. Exu, Rosmontis, Blue Poison and April: DONE! Greythroat, Platinum and Ash: To Go! @mira-pyon Arknights today gives a free 10 pulls ticket, in addition to the one last week. Ash would be really good for a new player if you can get her. And yes, Arknights just gave in a random event double what Genshin did for its anniversary lmao |

Why don't you use Ash for the event? Kinda wasteful not taking advantage of the event bonus. I replace Exia with Archetto these days. She's also fun to use but people don't talk much about her. Her bow is like freaking Gatling gun. I still have to farm Sniper chips for her. It wouldn't take 10 minutes, but I want to save sanity for farming the event itself. I have her in my team for the Trust bonus, alongside the other R6 members, but BP is doing the Sniper heavy lifting for now. I don't have Archetto, unfortunately. I didn't want to invest too much in her banner and risk not having enough for Saga, so I went for the guarantee and dipped out. I got like 80 Pinecone since then, though, and I'm not even mad, she's ridiculously adorable. I guess people don't talk as much about Archetto is because her banner is sandwiched between an event with a meta unit and the much-awaited Saga/Dusk event. Add to that she doesn't really give much of an edge ever Exu, and most people wouldn't try to get her beyond waifu reasons. As a result,I'd say most people don't even have her. Her battery talent is really, really good for Meteorite, which is actually the main reason I personally may want her. It's like Blem and Mudrock. |

| Dammit, I just realized that my AR farming early game to rush for Inazuma ruined my character level scaling. The enemies are starting to get stronger at a pace faster than I can level up my characters. Farming not only takes longer because the enemies are stronger, farming itself contributes to raising the World Level more and more. I'm now soft-locked out of story content because story quests give a LOT of AR EXP and I'm AR 38 at the moment and my highest level character is Rosaria is level 70, followed by Xingqiu and Yanfei at level 50. At this rate, I'm afraid I'll faceplant into enemy sponges left and right before I can reduce the World Level at AR 45. Fuck, better plan the 7 remaining levels carefully. Does anyone have any tips for great weapons or artifacts to get that will help alleviate the pressure? I was able to get Crescent Pike, Mapa Mare, the claymore from the Dragonspine quest, and the artifact from the Cathedral in Monstadt. mira-pyon said: You can't even fathom my pain wat? Are you sure that's not just your wifi and bad interference? |
